I am a Franco-American computer scientist, and work as a staff research scientist at DeepMind, following a (short) period as the CTO of Dark Blue Labs, which I also co-founded.

Bio

Prior to my move to industry, I was working at the University of Oxford's Department of Computer Science, and was a Fulford Junior Research Fellow at Somerville College, while also lecturing at Hertford College to students taking Oxford's new computer science and philosophy course.

Before coming to Oxford's DCS in 2008 to do the MSc which led to my DPhil, I did graduate work in the philosophy departments at the University of St Andrews in mathematical logic, the foundation of mathematics, and some philosophy of language. Prior to this, I obtained a BSc in Physics & Philosophy from the University of Sheffield. Before that, I grew up in France (Tours and Grenoble) and the US (Pittsburgh, PA).
